The Museum of the Moving Image (in Queens, NY) ran this entire segment at its Jerry Lewis retrospective in the '80s. I don't remember it being half an hour, but it was pretty long and absolutely hilarious. Bob Hope returns to the stage at some point is clearly pissed-off at Jerry in particular as each tries to take control of the stand-up mike. At one point Hope barks, "Shut up, you little idiot!" with an edge in his voice. Bing supposedly ran off stage because he was afraid Dean & Jerry were going tear off his toupee.
